The evil sister is in charge, and the mother is getting married

Chapter 275 Who exactly did this? She must give this chivalrous person a big gift to thank them for their help; it was a brilliant job!
She decisively pressed her handprint, and after finishing, she collapsed to the ground, looking as if she had been relieved.

"Mother, what happened? How did you get tied up? Who did this?!"

"What's going on? What exactly happened?"

A steady yet urgent male voice came from the doorway. Immediately afterwards, Sheng Wanqiu saw a middle-aged, refined man of about thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old rushing in anxiously, followed by a middle-aged, beautiful woman with a tense expression.

"Father, Mother, you're finally back!" Yu Guijiao, the youngest, rushed towards the beautiful woman as soon as he saw his parents return.

"Fourth brother, what's going on?" Qiao Ruoxuan was also shocked by what she saw, but seeing her mother-in-law, who was always causing trouble, tied up like a dumpling and seemingly beaten, she felt incredibly happy.

Who did this? She must send a big gift to thank this chivalrous person for their help. Well done!
"Waaaaah! Son, you're finally back! Your mother was about to be beaten to death! These unfilial children just stood by and watched their mother get beaten! Waaaaah!"

As soon as the plump old lady saw her youngest son return, she immediately perked up and started crying, tears and snot flying everywhere.

"Eldest sister, brother-in-law, now that you're back, I won't disturb your family reunion any longer."

"Surely my brother-in-law, being an educator, should know what propriety, righteousness, integrity, and a sense of shame are. Just look at him!"

"If you can't even manage your own family, how can you teach and nurture students? If you're not upright, how can your students take you as a role model? Hesitation only leads to more trouble! I hope my brother-in-law can deal with the bad apples in the family fairly and justly, otherwise, this princess won't mind cleaning up your entire family!"

Sheng Wanqiu slapped the paper with her fingerprints on it into the arms of Yu Wanxiu, who was still looking bewildered.

"See you later, big sister! I'm leaving now, let's have a good chat tomorrow!"

"Big sister, remember that the Qiao family is your backing, don't be afraid! A sapling won't grow straight if it's not pruned, just do it!"

"If anything happens, have my nephew call me, and I'll bring my men over and chop their heads off! I'm off!"

Sheng Wanqiu greeted the dizzy Qiao Ruoxuan with a smile, then swaggered away with Xia Hua and Qiu Yi.

"Is she Sheng Wanqiu? My little sister?" Qiao Ruoxuan turned her head and asked her four eldest sons in confusion.

"Hmm! She's our little aunt! Isn't she awesome?" Qiao Ruoxuan's mind was in a mess. The little girl her father had adopted looked about the same age as her third son, but her straightforward and energetic demeanor made her seem much older than her age.

Not only is she beautiful, but she also speaks with a sharp, piercing tongue. Especially since she helped deal with that old hag, acting all fearless and timid. She likes her, haha, this little sister will be her own sister from now on.

How come my little sister has become a princess again? Qiao Ruoxuan wanted to have a good talk with this little sister, Sheng Wanqiu, but reality wouldn't allow it, because Yu Wanxiu fainted while looking at the confession. It seems he was really angry this time.

Sheng Wanqiu had already returned to the Qiao family without stopping. Because she still needed to dress up and tidy herself up, the time to go to the palace for the banquet was approaching. In order to better understand the people of the Dayue royal family and avoid making any mistakes by calling the wrong person, Sheng Wanqiu asked someone to call Granny Qiu. With her there, at least Sheng Wanqiu wouldn't mistake anyone.

This was Sheng Wanqiu's first time attending a royal banquet, and also her first time being a princess. As soon as Granny Qiu arrived, she started helping her get dressed. Xia Huachunzhi wasn't good at this, so she could only help out by fetching clothes and water.

As expected of someone from the palace, Granny Qiu tidied up Sheng Wanqiu with her eyes closed. When she opened her eyes again and looked in the bronze mirror, she immediately smiled. She couldn't believe that the charming and noble young girl in the mirror was herself.

Wearing a vermilion palace dress that was as thin as a cicada's wing and very comfortable to wear, the gold thread embroidery on the dress looked very high-class and sparkled as she walked. A belt embroidered with hibiscus flowers was tied around her waist, making Sheng Wanqiu's figure look very graceful.

Moreover, the cosmetics of ancient times are no less than those of modern times. There may not be as many varieties, but each one is very effective. Granny Qiu is very skilled and gave her a makeup look that suited her appearance perfectly, making her look like she was shining.

Her hair was styled into a flying fairy bun, adorned with many pearl flowers and small jeweled hairpins. It looked beautiful, but perhaps because of the excessive number of hairpins, Sheng Wanqiu felt her scalp was tight and her head was a bit heavy.

"Granny Qiu, you're amazing! I never imagined I could be dressed up so beautifully!"

"Could you please put fewer hairpins in my hair? My head feels so heavy!"

Sheng Wanqiu turned around in front of the bronze mirror, admiring her outfit. It turned out that beauty came at a price. She could barely accept the sloppy palace dress, but she really couldn't handle the little trinkets on her head.

"Haha, Princess, you are naturally beautiful. This old servant just dressed you up casually. It's just that you usually dress too simply, so you're not used to this sudden change."

"If you find it too heavy, this old servant will adjust it for you."

Upon hearing what Granny Qiu said, Sheng Wanqiu immediately sat down obediently, letting Granny Qiu do as she pleased.

Soon it was almost time for the banquet, and Sheng Wanqiu boarded her own carriage, which belonged exclusively to Princess Yonghe. Xia Huaqiu, Qiu Mama, and the other two also boarded the carriage at her strong invitation.

Qiao Wenyuan and Qiao Guanjie, a married couple, also boarded a carriage and followed behind Sheng Wanqiu's carriage, heading towards the palace.

"Granny Qiu, could you tell me about the situation in the palace? You must know me, this is my first time attending a banquet in the palace, and I'm afraid I might mistake someone for someone else, which would be too embarrassing."

"Princess, please ask whatever you want to know. I will answer truthfully as long as I know the answer." Granny Qiu understood Sheng Wanqiu's meaning as soon as she heard this, but she didn't know what Sheng Wanqiu wanted to ask, so she didn't dare to answer rashly.

"I want to know how many wives the emperor had? How many princesses? How many sons? What kind of people were they? Was the Empress Dowager easy to get along with?"

"Princess, don't be nervous. The Empress Dowager is very easy to get along with, so you don't need to worry about that." Granny Qiu smiled, thinking that Sheng Wanqiu must be nervous, which was why she asked these questions.

Actually, she was wrong. Sheng Wanqiu was just a gossip. What was there for her to be nervous about? If anyone dared to cause trouble, she could be beaten up. Anyway, she had a get-out-of-jail-free card. As long as she didn't rebel, the Emperor of Dayue wouldn't cut off her head, so she wasn't afraid at all.
